Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0303775A1] The method uses a driving-shield machine which has a working chamber under atmospheric pressure, the face being supported by a pressure means which, via the control gap of the shield, is in connection with the gap space between shield tail or floor or rock and tunnel lining. <??>The gap space (3) is closed off towards the working chamber between shield tail (1) and tunnel lining (2) by a gap sealing ring. Injection concrete is injected into the gap space (3) through pipe connections (5) in the gap sealing ring. For the purpose of closing a leaking joint possibly forming between the gap sealing ring and the shield tail (1) and/or the tunnel lining (2), work is carried out with an injection concrete which has fine additives (12) and coarse-grained aggregate (11) such that the coarse grains form a grain filter in front of any leaking joint, the pores of which grain filter are closed by the fine additives. <IMAGE>
